Figueroa was born in San Antonio, Texas. His father is of Puerto Rican descent. He was raised by his mother, a former rapper herself.[1][2] He started expressing an interest in music when he moved in with his father, and in high school in Richmond, Virginia, he began free styling and started using his Instagram platform to share snippets of music he had been working on.

Figueroa started to gain popularity after he released the music video for his single "Party Girl" in December 2019.[1] The track sat at 2 million views on YouTube before it went viral on the video-sharing platform TikTok, which propelled Figueroa to stardom. He got involved with Solomon Sobande, the former manager of XXXTentacion, and shortly afterwards, he signed a deal with Columbia Records.[1] His debut EP, Fallin' was released on July 17, 2020.
